A simple accurate kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of biotin in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations. The proposed method is based on a catalytic acceleration of biotin on the reaction between sodium azide and tri-iodide in an aqueous solution. Concentration range of 4-16 μg/mL for biotin was determined by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of tri-iodide at 348 nm by a fixed time method. The decrease in absorbance after 14 min from the initiation of the reaction was markedly correlated to the concentration with correlation coefficient of 0.9999. The detection limit (LOD) of biotin was 0.18 μg/mL while quantitation limit (LOQ) was 0.54 μg/mL. The percentage recovery of the spiked samples was 100.08 ± 0.761. The proposed procedure was successfully applied for the determination of biotin in its pharmaceutical preparations with mean recoveries of 101.17 ± 2.05 and 97.87 ± 1.50 for biotin ampoules and capsules, respectively. The results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained using official method.
Two spectrophotometric methods were developed for the determination of ranitidine. The first method was a kinetic spectrophotometric method based on the catalytic effect of ranitidine on the reaction between sodium azide and iodine in an aqueous solution. The calibration graph was linear from 4-24 µg/mL. The drug was determined by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of iodine at 348 nm using a fixed time method. The decrease in the absorbance after 1 minute from the initiation of the reaction was related to the concentration of drug. The detection limit of the procedure was 0.76 mg/mL. The proposed procedure was successfully utilized in the determination of the drug in pharmaceutical preparations with mean recovery in the range of 99.83 -101.16% .The second method is a colorimetric method, which depends on the measurement of absorbances of tris (o-phenanthroline) iron(II) [method 2A] and tris (bipyridyl) iron(II) [method 2B] complexes at 512 nm. The complexes obeyed Beer's law over the concentration range of 2-16 mg/mL and 4-40 mg/mL for methods 2A and 2B, respectively. The developed method has been successfully applied for the determination of ranitidine in bulk drugs and pharmaceutical formulations. The common excipients and additives did not interfere in its determination.
